I personally dust every inch of my apartment every day. Without that it's not clean. I mean, think of the children!

By your argument, anything short of spotless is not clean. It's a spectrum.

I, for one, am glad that Meghan McCain has been able to use this show as a platform to tackle the big questions in an innovative, insightful manner. Bravo, Ms. McCain.

If you're having that many near-accidents, maybe you should reconsider your driving style or pay more attention to the road?

There are a lot of words in your summary of the article, and nothing at all to suggest what the size of the effect may be. Does it make 1lb of difference? Does it make 20lb of difference? Without that information, what are we to make of the study? I'm sure people will seize on it to argue that "hey, the gut…

I think younger me would have been sympathetic with someone who was self-aware of doing stupid things. Current me is pretty much just "Y U no stop being stupid?!?!".

Protip: if you're going to break the law, don't brag about it on the internet.

If a murderer, drug dealer or mugger was bragging about his exploits on social media and gave enough clues about his identity, then yeah, you bet they'd have arrested him before Mr. Afroduck.

"we had drivers get behind the truck and start flashing their highbeams at us, probably because they thought our highbeams were on, which they weren't. The truck is just tall."

Reasons to hate on SUVs part 53: blinding headlights even without highbeams on.

I thought I would help you out here as you seem to have difficulty carrying on a normal conversion. Note that I'm sticking with the original genders, but these aren't gender-specific.

Example: "I went to lunch with Mike today."

Her reply: "Oh, you did?"

Her thoughts: "I'm listening to your exciting news about lunch…

Wow, you're a charmer. The reality is that tipping is expected and is necessary for servers to make enough money to get by.

I had the same idea but interpreted it more charitably than what you did: that they were using the term nonconsensual sex as a less emotive synonym for to avoid people going "well clearly little Johnny isn't guilty of that, it's not like he is jumping out of bushes and attacking strangers". Not sure whether using the…

FrothingLiberal is clearly a moron, but there are pretty clear differences between the standards of proof and procedure in a criminal court compared with a university tribunal: even if the charges are exactly the same, it hardly means that it would pass muster in convicting someone of the crime.

They are liable and the criminal punishment is the appropriate one for the crime. There are many reasons (good reason, bad reasons or unfortunate) that victims wouldn't want to pursue that though...

I assume because the police can't/won't do anything about it and aren't necessarily any better at looking after victims. Going through a trial can be much worse for the victim.

I'm honestly a bit confused about the assumptions that we're making about how these things are handled. Shouldn't the university punishing the offenders be a last resort when the normal legal channels for a serious felony can't deal with it? I understand if there isn't enough evidence for a criminal charge to stick,…

To be fair, I thought Piers was asking those questions as an opportunity for her to dispell negative perceptions of Trayvon. In context, following on from other questions about him as a friend, it didn't seem aggressive at all.
